Transport Ministry bolsters oversight of contracting sector
Sana'a - Saba: The Blacklist Committee, chaired by Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Quhaim, convened on Tuesday to address critical issues concerning construction practices and the performance of contracting firms. The meeting, held on Dhu al-Hijjah 28, 1446 AH (June 24, 2025 AD), focused on strengthening regulatory oversight and ensuring compliance within the construction sector. During the session, the committee reviewed the Prime Minister's circular on implementing the Blacklist Regulations, alongside Republican Decree No. (27) of 1446 AH. This decree outlines the Ministry of Transport and Public Works' objectives and responsibilities, specifically referencing Article (3), Clause (9) related to the Blacklist Committee. The meeting addressed complaints regarding the inclusion of violating contracting offices and institutions on the Blacklist, taking appropriate action on these matters. New Measures Approved to enhance quality control, the committee approved the formation of sub-committees tasked with reviewing technical specifications for towers in the Capital Sana'a. These committees will also prepare comprehensive forms for all technical aspects, with a particular focus on concrete control work, in coordination with the Ministry's central laboratories and offices. The committee emphasized the importance of quarterly meetings to discuss Blacklist-related developments and propose any necessary amendments to the current bylaw.

Quhaim indicated that oversight must extend to all work carried out by various government agencies, ensuring continuous monitoring of contracting offices' and institutions' compliance with laws. He firmly stated that violators would be placed on the blacklist. He emphasized that no unauthorized individuals would be allowed to violate regulations or compromise citizens' lives, urging committee members to propose any necessary amendments or additions to the regulations to align with current requirements.

Red Sea Ports: Lifeline defies difficulties, continues to give
Hodeida - Saba: The Red Sea ports, foremost among them the port of Hodeida, are one of the most important pillars of economic and humanitarian resilience in Yemen. They have proven their worth and ability to continue operating despite the recent direct Zionist and American attacks that inflicted significant damage to their vital infrastructure. Despite the enormous challenges, the Red Sea ports have continued to operate efficiently, ensuring the flow of food, medicine, and petroleum products to millions of Yemenis across various governorates, amid the exceptional circumstances the country has been experiencing for years. Field reports indicate that the movement of ships receiving and unloading has not stopped, but rather has continued at an organized pace, thanks to the ongoing efforts of technical and administrative personnel, in addition to the emergency measures taken to ensure operational continuity. Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Quhaim emphasized that Hodeida's ports constitute an advanced economic front, and that their workers play a significant role in serving the Yemeni people. He praised their high patriotic spirit and ability to overcome challenges with unwavering determination. He said, "Thanks be to God and the efforts of our men, the port provides its services with high efficiency, and work continues at an accelerating pace despite many obstacles." He emphasized that the Ministry of Transport and Public Works attaches utmost importance to strengthening the ports' capabilities and is working to provide the capabilities to improve their performance and sustain their services. For his part, Hodeida governor Abdullah Atifi considered what is happening at Hodeida's ports to be a comprehensive economic battle, in which workers face all forms of challenges with a sincere patriotic spirit. He pointed out that the local authorities are keen to support the efforts of the work in this vital artery, which represents a safety valve for the flow of goods and products needed by the local market. Governor Atfi explained that the remarkable resilience shown by the port's workforce reflects a high level of awareness of responsibility and confirms that the people of Hodeida have been, and continue to be, at the forefront of protecting the country's resources and asserting their presence in the battle for economic sovereignty. The ongoing field visits by the Ministers of Transport and Oil, as well as the Governor, are not only a means of continuous monitoring of the ports, but have also become tools for implementation and close observation to address challenges from the field, not from the offices. Chairman of the Red Sea Ports Corporation Zaid al-Washli indicated that work at the port is proceeding at a rapid pace around the clock, and that berth schedules and unloading programs have not been affected despite the damage. He noted that technical and engineering personnel began inventory and remediation work from the first moments. He stated that the technical teams succeeded in implementing immediate measures to ensure the continuity of operations without disruption, which has strengthened the confidence of port customers and contributed to maintaining its position as a vital receiving center for essential goods. The emergency operations plan at the ports of Hodeida and Ras Issa is being implemented in parallel with the continued reception of ships, reflecting a state of discipline, commitment, and preparedness rarely seen in an operating environment under the pressure of repeated attacks. The significance of this achievement is further reinforced by the continued normal berths of foreign commercial vessels at the two ports, reflecting the growing confidence of international shipping companies in the Red Sea Ports Corporation's ability to operate efficiently despite the challenges they face. The importance of the ports is not limited to commercial aspects; they also represent a national, economic, and humanitarian front. Their continued operation, despite harsh conditions, is a true embodiment of the resilience and determination of the Yemeni people. Despite the direct targeting of docks and equipment in a flagrant violation of international law, the scene on the ground reflects a national will that has transformed the damage into an opportunity for progress and construction, not a state of stagnation or collapse. In this context, the relevant authorities are documenting the violations suffered by the ports, in parallel with developing strategic plans to enhance their operational capabilities and expand their capacity, particularly at Ras Isa Port, in anticipation of any emergency that threatens global supply lines. Red Sea ports play a crucial humanitarian role, as they are the sole gateway for goods and essential materials into Yemen, giving every achievement there both a national and humanitarian dimension. While the ports have withstood aggression and targeting, the secret of this resilience lies not in concrete or equipment, but in the people working on the ground, working day and night to keep this vital artery open. What is happening today in the Red Sea ports is a clear message to the world that, despite the wounds, Yemen remains capable of protecting its vital waterways, defending its sovereignty, and meeting the needs of its people with all its will and steadfastness.
